The computer cost is $3000

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • The ratio of the price of a tv to the price of a computer is 13 : 15
  • The tv 400 dollars cheaper than the computer

We need to find the cost of the computer

Assume that the price of the computer is $x

∵ The ratio between the prices of the tv and the computer is 13 : 15

∵ The price of the computer is $x

∵ The price of the tv 400 dollars cheaper than the computer

- That means the price of the tv is less than the price of the

  computer by $400

∴ The price of the tv is $(x - 400)

By using the ratio method

→  tv              :    computer

→  13              :    15

→  (x - 400)   :    x

By using the cross multiplication

∴ 15(x - 400) = 13(x)

- Simplify the left hand side

∴ 15x - 6000 = 13x

- Add 6000 to both sides

∴ 15x = 13x + 6000

- Subtract 13x from both sides

∴ 2x = 6000

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 3000

The computer cost is $3000

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the rectangle in the attachment.

Current scale:

1 cm : 6 inches

If the dimensions of the rectangle is:

Length = a cm

Width = b cm

Using the scale:

Length = a × 6 inches

Width = b × 6 inches

Using the same dimensions of the rectangle is:

Length = a cm

Width = b cm

Using the scale:

Length = a × 12 inches

Width = b × 12 inches

Note that there is an enlargement of the rectangle to form the new rectangle. The length and width of new rectangle drawn will be 2 × the length and width of the rectangle seen below.

Given : Myra asked Annabelle to buy her some perfume while she was in France. Annabelle paid 200 euros for it. Myra wants to pay Annabelle back in U.S. dollars.

To Find:  If the foreign exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the euro is 1:0.7, how much should Myra pay Annabelle?

Since Annabelle paid 200 euros

And Myra wants to pay Annabelle back in U.S. dollars.

Let Myra paid amount to Annabelle in U.S. dollar be x

We are also given that  the U.S. dollar and the euro is 1:0.7

⇒\frac{1}{0.7}=\frac{x}{200}

⇒\frac{1*200}{0.7}=x

⇒\frac{200}{0.7}=x

⇒285.7=x

⇒285.7≈286

Thus Myra should pay $286 to Annabelle
